Cajun Field Construction

Frees up west tower to be purely suites for revenue generation. Press box on East side will have cameras, TV announcers, and press looking at a fuller crowd. Better for TV.

And depending on what the press box on the East side looks like, makes for a nicer stadium.

Ok. Make sense. Then maybe either earlier or later games. The 6pm has the sun directly in the eyes of the east side.

7PM kickoffs prior to Homecoming.

4PM kickoffs for Homecoming and beyond.

This should be the normal schedule unless ESPN says we absolutely have to change it for National Broadcast.

Are the suites open air?

Similar to Russo. Suites as well as club on west side. 3 levels of suites.

This is just awesome news!

Will the West side also hold administrative offices along with suites?

i think there is a plan in place to put admin on the east side.

Got it. Regardless, I feel this might just help galvanize the Louisiana fanbase.

The toothpick!!!

In his defense he could not do anything about that. The SBC hired him to paint a print with all of the current teams and coaches on it.

Having the east side tower with educational space will make stadium look more balanced and finished

The optics of having the tv cameras facing the home side vs the empty visitor's side would be a nice change

I bet adding an educational space into the stadium allowed some additional State funds to be utilized for this project. Because the University was probably limited in how much State money could be utilized on an athletics only facility and anything above that amount would have to be funded by private donations. I don't know that for a fact, but that is what my gut is telling me.

Didn't LSU say for years that they had dorms inside Tiger Stadium in order to get state funding for repairs and improvements?

(And I mean *fairly* recently .. not WW1)
